Yeah, I thought so. Next time I will know.

I have been prepping my truck for towing so far. One thing I did i never see mentioned is install a high flow cat to help maintain speed. With my old cat the back pressure caused me to slow down everytime I let off the accelerator but I'm using the 5.8w.

And I replaced all the components in my cooling system. Chain, thermostat, water pump, and radiator ( 2 stage ) instead of the stock one. Also changed out to fresh transmission fluid and added some lucas oil ATF booster to it.

How steep was your driveway?
